Meta-analysis of genome-wide association studies from the CHARGE consortium identifies common variants associated with carotid intima media thickness and plaque [PDF]
, 2011 Carotid intima media thickness (cIMT) and plaque determined by ultrasonography are established measures of subclinical atherosclerosis that each predicts future cardiovascular disease events.

Absence of both common carotid arteries [PDF]
American Journal of Roentgenology, 1978 Abnormalities in the development of the embryologic aortic arches with resultant anomalies of the aortic arch and its branches are not uncommon. Absence of a common carotid artery in which there are separate origins of the internal and external carotid arteries is rare.

Variations of the origin of superior thyroid artery and its relationship with the external branch of superior laryngeal nerve. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2018 The superior thyroid artery, the main atrial supply of neck region, is branched from the external carotid artery as a first branch, but it may also arise from the common carotid artery and its bifurcation.

Carotid artery stenting: Current state of evidence and future directions
Acta Neurologica Scandinavica, 2019 Both carotid endarterectomy (CEA) and carotid artery stenting (CAS) are common treatments for carotid artery stenosis. Several randomized controlled trials (RCTs) have compared CEA to CAS in the treatment of carotid artery stenosis.

Predictive haemodynamics in a one-dimensional human carotid artery bifurcation. Part II: application to graft design [PDF]
, 2008 A Bayesian surrogate modelling technique is proposed that may be able to predict an optimal bypass graft configuration for patients suffering with stenosis in the internal carotid artery (ICA). At the outset, this statistical technique is considered as a
